I also have no TV. And life is rather good without one. I can spend
time doing the more important things like computing and my girlfriend.
When there is something on TV that I really have to see (which isn't
often), then Bittorrent is my friend. But 99.9% of stuff I download
from that are American TV shows anyway.
